Abstract (en)

The invention relates to an apparatus for transporting material taken up in a liquid from an inlet side (131) to a higher outlet side (130), a dredging device (1) and corresponding method for transporting a material present in a liquid from an inlet side (131) to a higher outlet side (130). The apparatus comprises a support construction running between the inlet side (131) and the outlet side (130) for the purpose of supporting a discharge means for material present on the inlet side, wherein the discharge means comprises two carrying walls (13a, 13b)which are movable in the direction of the outlet side by means of a mechanical drive (12a, 12b) and between which the material for discharge is received. The invention likewise relates to a dredging device (1) for dredging bottom material underwater while making use of the apparatus, and a corresponding method. The invention allows discharge of material taken up in a liquid wherein sediment contamination is reduced.
